"Rocky. It's time to go to sleep, okay?" "Okay, you start." "I'm trying." "Oh. Perhaps try harder."

WHITSANTOS ROOMATES SAVEEE MEEEEEE

because OP is so right, this show is a love story. and specifically this scene is the love story of how Judith loves Debbie so much that she unintentionally gives Debbie the one thing she's always dreamt to see. David unwittingly kept Debbie from it when they first met and in 30 years of relationship, he never bothered to actually make it happen, when it would have been such an easy thing to do.

but Judith would do everything for Debbie. she's so exhausted because she was doing everything to protect Debbie, to keep her safe, she was putting her own life on the line so Debbie would live and be safe. and she's not even aware that she's made Debbie's dream come true.

Summary: Carla and Lisa help each other work through their respective feelings and confusion in the aftermath of Betsy's strokes. --- She had felt bad for voicing it aloud on that horrid night in November but she had told the truth then and it returns to her mind, unbidden, now: sometimes it is hard trying to support Lisa when she is this consumed by torment.

But Carla had made a vow, and she had meant it; still means it.

Both looking in the same direction, hand-in-hand — forever.

She knows the hurt of being resented for burdening others with your own pain and upset; no matter how difficult it is to hold her up, she doesn’t want to subject Lisa to that same resentment, shame her for having emotions.

With a sigh, she gives Lisa’s thigh a firm, encouraging pat.

“Right. Indoors, now. This is an intervention, missus.”
